tkaminski -> I wish our politicians in Alberta would spend some of our Oil revenues on 1 to 1

cheryloakes~seedlings -> Well, speaking for me, I am so excited about the vision finally coming through, but in my school we won't see funding for this like it was for the 7th and 8th grade, so it would have to be locally funded at 180,000 per year for 4 years for macbooks, wireless, support and professional development. Not sure that will pass the straight face test in these times.

PeggyG -> can you believe so many people are using flashcards? must be working!!

KMFerrari -> i'm a high school student and an english intern, and i started using quizlet myself and loved it, so then i shared it with my mentor teacher, and the other students love it.

cheryloakes~seedlings -> thanks andrew.

andrew -> but users can make them private

TimLevesque -> it's okay, it has been answered :)

cheryloakes~seedlings -> Hello sundene, evening.

csitterley -> I have shared this with teachers in my district-I need to follow up and see how many are using it-

cheryloakes~seedlings -> hello phawkenson, good evening.

phawkenson -> Hello.

PeggyG -> that was really interesting--we often forget that there is a lot of sacrifice on the part of developers--beyond financial! what a commitment!

tkaminski -> Quizlet is definitely a good virus

cheryloakes~seedlings -> hello Meep, good evening, we are interviewing Andrew Sutherland, creator of Quizlet and student at MIT.

cheryloakes~seedlings -> hello Thursday, this is Quizlet.

tkaminski -> Great Pay it forward. HS students creating for their lower grade students

jackiegerstein -> Is he making any money off of his venture

PeggyG -> I love the idea that learners use it because it helps them and not because it's "required"

TimLevesque -> I'm amazed by how easy it is to find cards others have made

cheryloakes~seedlings -> Ben, thanks for sharing your quizlets that you are using. There are public and we can use them.

csitterley -> Very sensitive answer from Andrew-understanding the benefits he had that others might not have

PeggyG -> It is great to see the examples!

jackiegerstein -> He also need to understand the backstory - that my students were impressed that a 15 year old invented this - as powerful to them as the tool itself.

lisettecasey -> how old is Andrew now?

TimLevesque -> Sorry..not conversating because im having too much fun playing with this..

cheryloakes~seedlings -> Okay, Tim, spread the word.

alicebarr (Seedlings) -> @lisettecasey Freshamn in college

csitterley -> I may have missed this, but did Andrew create any of Quizlet at school?

tkaminski -> See you all. Have to get to my conference

alicebarr (Seedlings) -> Bye terry

cheryloakes~seedlings -> Thanks for stopping by Terry, bye

alicebarr (Seedlings) -> 52,000 16 year olds!

cheryloakes~seedlings -> See Peggy, this does bring our average age down.

alicebarr (Seedlings) -> @csittterly I think he did most on his own

phawkenson -> Heading to another PD session. Thanks so much. I WILL be working with Quizlet and sharing that with my team. Kudos.

cheryloakes~seedlings -> bye phawkenson,

PeggyG -> wow! amazing stats!

PeggyG -> can he tell us more about quizlet on the iPhone?

PeggyG -> what a fantastic tribute that a textbook publisher posted their quizzese on his site!

cheryloakes~seedlings -> Mainstream going digital.

cheryloakes~seedlings -> mainstream going social network

thursday -> Just made a quick quizlet for my freshman daughter using her latin vocab...showed her and got a "whooa!" and "That's so cool, Mom!" Just for your information, Andrew, I rarely hear this from her.

cheryloakes~seedlings -> Thursday, that is a testimonial

thursday -> I also learned Latin for 1 - 10 in the process!

cheryloakes~seedlings -> does anyone want to share a quizlet for our delicious links?
